Britain is blessed in many ways. We have so few disasters happen. Seeing the fires in California made me think of this. I guess they are taking place over a large area which is difficult to control. We are such a small island with relatively small areas of wild land so any fire can be dealt with quickly. We don't have earthquakes, well only minor ones that you hardly feel. Today in more northerly parts there is snow. If we have three days of snow we panic and wonder how we will cope, but before we have time to decide what to do we find it has gone away again. We moan about our weather but really it is very mild, at least, most of the time. In Russia last July I found the Russians have a similar attitude to us about summer never making an appearance. I don't know what they say about their snow, but they certainly get enough of it.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
